Argan Oil

Argania spinosa, also known as the "argan tree", is a tree species native to northwest Africa that spreads southwest from Marrakech. The oil obtained from the fruits of this tree is known as "argan oil" and is used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Argan Oil has been produced by Berber women for thousands of years. Berbers collect the fruits of the argan tree and break the seeds obtained by traditional methods. The almonds that come out of these kernels are ground and made into a paste. The dough is then squeezed by hand to remove the oil.

The production of Argan Oil produced by traditional methods is a very laborious process. Therefore, this product produced by modern methods has become more common. In this method, the fruits are first washed with water and then dried. The dried fruits are ground and the oil is extracted using hydraulic presses. Argan Oil, produced by modern methods, has a less laborious production process, although less amount of oil is obtained.

Argan Oil has a mild nut-like fragrance. Its aromatic structure may vary depending on the quality of the seeds used in the production of the dough and soil conditions. For this reason, Argan Oil manufacturers carefully manage the kernels and processing of the oil to preserve the quality and flavor of their products. Generally, good quality argan oil will have a light and pleasant aroma.
